Summary

Here is a thrilling adventure story about a mysterious underground world, read by Jack Davenport.

Fourteen-year-old Will Burrows lives with his parents and younger sister Rebecca in London. He has little in common with any of them, except for a passion for digging, which he shares with his father, a museum curator and doctor of archaeology. When his father suddenly disappears after a row with his mother, the police believe he has just gone away for a while to cool down. But Will is unconvinced, and decides to investigate with his best friend, Chester.

Unsatisfying Story Telling.

This story is meant to be a great one, the narrator was very good though.
However I was sadly disappointed at how much content was missing from this Audio book! I have the actual paper back books and there were some major story points missed out in this version.
Deeper (second book in the series) seems to be better, but refers back to content from the first book which wasn't actually told in the audio book. I'd suggest not buying this but rather buying the actual book instead! some major parts have been missed, for examle Will meeting Cal's cat OR when he and Cal go out with Uncle Tam to meet his friends among other parts, but I don't want to give any spoilers.

Good book, very enjoyable reading

really enjoyed the passion it was read with. clearly articulated. the volume was sometimes too loud when it was dialogue, but not too invasive.

Abridged to within an inch of its life

Abridged to within an inch of its life, this is definitely not worth the cost of a credit.
